Join us for this webinar to learn how thoughtful, inclusive storytelling can become a powerful tool for positive change in your nonprofit's communications. We'll explore creating narratives that are not only impactful but also protect, respect, and dignify those you serve.
Tips:
Center the Voices of Those You Serve: Make sure to highlight the experiences and perspectives of the individuals and communities impacted by your work. By amplifying their voices, you not only create authentic narratives but also empower those you serve, fostering a sense of dignity and respect.
Prioritize Authenticity and Representation: Ensure your stories reflect the diversity of the communities you work with. Avoid stereotypes and clichés by engaging with those whose stories you tell. This commitment to authenticity enhances credibility and builds trust with your audience.
Focus on Impact and Transformation: Craft narratives that not only showcase challenges but also highlight solutions and positive outcomes. Illustrating the journey of individuals or communities toward change can inspire action and foster a deeper connection to your mission, motivating supporters to get involved.
What is my Theory of Change? - Oct 28
Lisa Gale | LVG Strategy Group, in partnership with Consultants for Good (C4G)
How do you know that your organization is having an impact? Join us for this presentation about the linchpin of your performance measurement arsenal: the Theory of Change. You'll learn what it is (and is not!), how and why it inspires funders, staff and other stakeholders, and about the tools and insights that link your strategies with outcomes, making your organization's agenda for social impact clear and accessible.
Tips:
Define Clear Outcomes: Start by clearly articulating the long-term outcomes you aim to achieve. This clarity not only guides your strategies but also helps stakeholders understand the impact of your work. Use specific, measurable indicators to track progress and demonstrate success.
Engage Stakeholders in the Process: Involve funders, staff, and community members in developing your Theory of Change. Their insights can enrich your understanding of the context and help ensure your strategies resonate with those you aim to serve. This collaborative approach can foster buy-in and support from key stakeholders.
Use Visual Tools: Create a visual representation of your Theory of Change to illustrate the connections between your activities, outputs, and desired outcomes. Visual tools, like logic models or flowcharts, make complex information more accessible and can effectively communicate your organization’s impact to funders and other stakeholders.
